Q: I am a woman and need to earn money. I have developed an online course that will not reveal my face but I need to record my voice explaining the content, and I cannot limit the course to only women (there is no way to do this on the online course platform). Though people will hear my voice, no one will know me. Is this halal?
I may also be able to use a software to change the pitch of my voice slightly (lower the pitch of my voice). Is this better?
Q: I am a lady teacher and I have started a math YouTube channel. I am using a digital pen for teaching so my hands and face are not visible in my channel. People can only hear my voice in the video.
Is such a YouTube channel allowed and is the income permissible in Islam.
Q: I would like to find out the permissiblity of conducting programs online via zoom or other such medium for woman. A reputable muallimah will recite zikr, Quraan, give some naseeha, etc. These classes are only for women to participate and rules state that no men should be able to hear the female speaker. Links for online classes are sent out just before the programs so that no one besides those registered will be able to listen in.
Is it permissible to conduct such programs?
Will it be permissible for me (a female) to listen and thereby encourage to such programs?
Q: Is a woman's voice purdah? Meaning, can it be heard by a na-mahram.
Q: I wanted to know whether it is permissible for a girls madressah to have jalsa when the girls graduate in their final year. The jalsah will consist of a nasheed sang by the girls, a play, a qiraat read etc.
Q: Males are seated on one side of a hall and females are seated on another. The tables are arranged such that the backs of the males are facing the backs of the females. There is a distance of four meters between the two. There is no curtain or anything separating the two sides. At any time one can look behind and see ghair mahrams. Both sides can also hear the voices of the other. Prominent Moulana's attend gatherings set-up like this with their wives. The organisers say that since they are separated and no one is forced to look at the other and also that talking to the other side is not possible, it is alright. Is this set up permissible? Please comment.
Q: A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. It is commonly used in education, both in online courses and software training videos. Only the screen output is shown and nothing else. It is often that the audio narration is done by a woman.
(1) Is it permissible for a male to watch a screencast if the audio narration is done by a woman? Only her voice is heard.
(2) Is it permissible for a female to watch a screencast if the audio narration is done by a male? Only his voice is heard.
(3) Is it permissible for a male to do the audio narration of a screencast if he knows that both men and woman will hear his voice? This would only be for screencasts of a permissible nature and with no animate images.
Q: Is it permissible to listen to the voice of a non-mahram female? Often, there is a female reading the news on the radio. Can one listen to this or should one switch it off?
Some people claim that the Sahabah (May Allah Ta'ala be pleased with them) would ask Hadhrat Aa'isha (Radiallahu Anha) rulings and learn from her. Therefore, the presence of female presenters on Islamic radio stations is fine. Is this justified?
Q: On some GPS devices there are only women voices talking. Are using these devices permissible?
